KingCamp Sleeping Bag Review
KingCamp Oasis 300. Is this sleeping bag ready to summit Everest? Not exactly.
Is this sleeping bag optimal for a 5 month through hike of the AT? Hardly.
The KingCamp Oasis 300 sleeping bag is a beginner-oriented bag that is perfect for the "average user." This sleeping bag is rated down to 26 F (-3 C) which will keep you comfortable in most Spring/Summer/Fall conditions.
Did we mention this thing can be had for under $30!
The Every Last Rock Team brought this bag out to the Red River Gorge this October to test it out. For the sub $50 price tag, it performed better than expected. That being said it did leave some things to be desired.
Build Quaility
The KingCamp Oasis 300's build quality is the less than what you will find on higher end brands, such as, North Face. When you consider the price difference this is to be expected.
The stuff sack that the bag comes in is less in quality than the actual bag, which is a good thing. The compression straps starting ripping out immediately after trying to tighten them.
Poor Stitching
The threads were not only ripping out, but they also seemed to be out of line. This may have been a manufacturing defect and caused the stitch to weaken.
Misaligned Stitch
The actual sleeping bag was a whole different story. The material used for the bag seemed to be of much higher quality and all the stitches were good.
Comfort
Being in the south for a long weekend, we didn't get a single dry day. This make for very uncomfortable nights in the sleeping bag.
The material used for the bag offered a bit of water resistance which made a ton of difference in getting a good night sleep. We didn't expect the KingCamp to perform so well in the sub optimal conditions, considering it was a super budget friendly bag.
SpecsThe bag also dried out pretty quickly during the day. Temperatures got down to the lower 30's and it was very cozy. If it got below freezing, this bag would have not been comfortable at all.
Overall Thoughts
The KingCamp Oasis 300 is a great sleeping bag for anyone on a budget. If you don't expect to find yourself in extreme cold/snowy condititions you shouldn't have a problem with this sleeping bag.
This would work as a great first sleeping bag or possibly a backup bag. If you already have a higher end bag then this would be perfect to keep as a spare for a friend.
KingCamp makes this same model in different sizes. You can go all the way up to a double wide.
If you have any question or concerns about the KingCamp sleeping bag don't hesistate to leave a comment. We will be updating this post during the summer when we can use the bag more often.
In the meantime we will be trying to get our hands on some new gear for you guys to check out. Stay tuned in!
Keep Crushing it Y'all!
